I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"Second son, calm down, maybe it's just a coincidence!" Kan Weiyong, who was sitting in the car together, saw that Jiang Weiguo's face was obviously turning pale, his eyes showed uncontrollable tension or even panic, and his fingers holding the cigarette were slightly shaking. He was trembling, so he hurriedly comforted him, "I have checked repeatedly, and every brother here on the construction site has no problems, and none of them are locals from Shanghai. I have repeatedly emphasized at the beginning of the project that those who participate in the project should not think about it when they come here. Get out of here before it's done.

The enthusiasm of the brothers is very high, and their awareness is even higher, because the brothers know the significance of this project. Really, I can guarantee that every brother absolutely strictly abides by the confidentiality regulations of the project.

Last month, a brother injured his ankle when he was hit by a steel pipe at work. I personally took someone to accompany him on the plane to Wuhan for treatment, but he was not in Shanghai or Nanjing. Last week, a brother’s hometown sent a message He said that his mother died of illness, and his family asked him to go back to the funeral immediately. After reading the letter, he smoked a few cigarettes and put on a black cloth to mourn his mother, but he did not go back.

I told him, you can ask for leave and go back. He said that if the project was not successful and the news leaked out, and it was finally investigated, wouldn't he be confused?After the project is completed, he will go back and kowtow to his mother's grave a few more times..." Although his tone was firm, his heart was still pounding.

It is indeed chilling and unacceptable that a last-minute slip-up and the entire painstaking plan come to naught.

Jiang Weiguo wanted to calm down, but he still couldn't help feeling flustered one after another. He looked at the scene carefully: This is the area along the Huangpu River in Jiangwan Town, Hongkou District, Shanghai. Under the pretense of "New Factory in Wan Town", on the surface, a new factory is being built in full swing. In fact, a military tunnel leading to the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps is being dug three feet away. Ten meters away from the factory, The land in a residential area has just been bought by the Toyota Corporation of Japan, with about 80 households and an area of ​​more than [-] mu. It is said that the Shanghai branch of Toyota Motor Corporation will be built here. The old and the young left with large and small luggage, and the expressions of the residents were very happy. After all, this is not a forced demolition.

The land prices and housing prices in Shanghai were frighteningly high both in the present Republic of China and in the later New China, but when foreign enemies invaded, the land prices and housing prices naturally plummeted.

These Shanghai residents who sold their homesteads to Toyota are very happy. They can finally move to the inland (there are basically two reasons why the eastern residents are unwilling to move westward, one is that their homeland is hard to leave, and the other is that they have no money), and Homesteads and ancestral houses that cannot be taken away can still be sold at a good price before they are destined to be destroyed by war.

Jiang Weiguo saw that in the residential area that belonged to the Toyota Corporation of Japan at this time, hundreds of Japanese people in small groups were busy performing their duties. Most of them were construction workers wearing worker uniforms. Some wore shirts and ties and looked like architects or engineers.

The crux of the problem is: who knows if those construction workers, designers, and engineers are Japanese agents or Japanese soldiers in disguise?

"Boss, I ask you to punish me because I was negligent in my work.

I don’t believe it’s a coincidence!” Yang Jiang’s expression was ashamed and firm, and he kept his mind, “It’s [-]% problematic for the Japanese to come here to open a factory near such a sensitive place.

Maybe the Japanese have discovered the secret here, maybe the Japanese just noticed something... Fu Xiaoan?Could it be that old guy who told the secret?He came here every now and then, but I have already sent someone to keep an eye on him..." He was thinking eagerly.

Not only was Jiang Weiguo flustered, but his thoughts were numb. He looked at Xiao Yao for help.

Xiao Yao was the calmest person in the car, he thought for a few minutes, and analyzed methodically: "First of all, it might just be a coincidence, but the probability is very low, we can't lie to our ears, so we don't consider this situation; secondly, the secret here It's been exposed, which is very bad, but we can't mess with it.

First, the Japanese do not necessarily know that we are digging tunnels. They may think that we are building some military facilities. Second, even if the Japanese know that we are digging tunnels, they do not know the route, depth, angle, etc. of the tunnels. Specific data, unless the Japanese get detailed design drawings, otherwise, even if they notice something weird here, they will be helpless in a short time, the underground is dark, and the Japanese are not earthworms, so it is impossible to find ours Authentic and destroyed.

So, let's not panic, whether the Japanese are aware of the secret here or not, our plan must continue, and we cannot give up until the last moment.

At the same time, it is necessary to turn a blind eye to the new Japanese factory and not show too much vigilance and vigilance, otherwise it is tantamount to telling the Japanese that there are secrets here.

This is a very delicate state and period, and under such circumstances, it is the most reasonable and safest to respond to all changes with the same!"

These words made Jiang Weiguo, Kan Weiyong, and Yang Jiang more or less relieved.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have strengthened the defense here!" Kan Weiyong said sadly and remorsefully, "It's all my fault, for taking it lightly and being careless!"

"I can't blame you!" Xiao Yao said, "The core of our project is to keep it secret, and we must not leak the slightest bit of information.

The construction site happened to be in a busy city, and it was very difficult to keep secrets. If additional manpower was deployed and a few kilometers around were set up as a warning area, wouldn't there be no silver 300 taels here?Officer Kan, you have done your best, so there is no need to blame yourself!"

"My military adviser, let's pretend that nothing happened now?" Jiang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still as heavy as if it had been pressed on a millstone.

"Send more people here calmly!" Xiao Yao said, "You can't increase too much, otherwise it's tantamount to not recruiting yourself.

If this is not a coincidence, then the Japanese are only observing and testing us, and if we quickly increase our manpower, it will expose our cards instead!"

"Damn it!" Jiang Weiguo was irritated, "Why did something go wrong at the last moment?"

Kan Weiyong and Yang Jiang were also upset, while Xiao Yao's expression was calm.

"Military Master, you seem to have been mentally prepared for a long time!" Jiang Weiguo began to admire Xiao Yao's skill in nourishing Qi.

"Yingzuo..." Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, "Have you forgotten what I told you earlier?"

"My military adviser..." Jiang Weiguo said depressedly, "Can you stop showing this unpredictable expression of a fortune teller? Which sentence?"

Xiao Yao looked at Kan Weiyong and Yang Jiang.

The two understood and got out of the car immediately, only Jiang Weiguo and Xiao Yao were in the car.

"Ying Zuo, I have a guess..." Xiao Yao whispered, "Last time, I told Sun Tao to quietly..."

Jiang Weiguo almost jumped up after hearing this: "Damn it! How dare you do such a perverted thing?"

Xiao Yao's expression was like that of an old monk who sees through the world of mortals: "Ying Zuo, it's not a question of being abnormal or not, as a 'big shot', one should pay this price.

...However, I feel strange now... Also, the photos I saw in your office last time made me even more strange. Did I guess wrong?Maybe my guess is not valid from the beginning, and it is purely mediocre!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette again, and he became more and more upset: "Forget it, forget it, let's do things here as you said!" His heart was originally sunny, but now dark clouds began to roll.

An ominous premonition came to Jiang Weiguo's heart. He knew that he had played majesticly and smoothly on the Pingjin battlefield, but his good luck probably had come to an end in Shanghai.

The sudden construction of a factory by the Japanese Toyota Company in Jiangwan Town cast a heavy shadow over Jiang Weiguo's tunnel blasting plan. Jiang Weiguo didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Japanese gourds. The overall environment is that China and Japan are in a weird situation where "they are already at war with each other but they are not enemies". If Jiang Weiguo sends more people to spy on the details of this new Japanese factory or to protect his own tunnel digging point, it will probably be self-defeating. Tell the Japanese that there is no silver 300 taels here, so the best way is to "respond to all changes with the same".

The gist of responding to all changes with the same is to "hold your breath".

Jiang Weiguo almost lost his temper. In the next five days, he was worried and lived like a year. The most he did all day was not to go out. He squatted in the regiment headquarters and looked at the wall clock on the wall like an old monk. , I hope that time will come to the end quickly, and that no bad news will be heard during the last period.

Jiang Weiguo's mentality is very similar to the mentality of a person who is alone at home late at night and hides under the covers after watching a ghost movie.

On August 8, the 11th Regiment received a direct telegram from the Nanjing Military Commission:

Are your armaments ready?

Zheng Dongguo called back:

It has been supplemented to [-]%, and [-]% is still missing.

The two telegrams may seem ordinary, but they are actually of great significance.

In order to ensure absolute secrecy, Jiang Weiguo met Chiang Kai-shek before coming to Shanghai from Nanjing, and secretly reported that "the 128th Regiment will fire the first shot (actually detonate the explosives in the tunnel) before the end of August at the latest." The Military Commission issued a clear order that the 128th regiment can start operations on its own after it is ready (that is, the tunnel has been dug and the explosives have been laid).

It was not the 128th Regiment who waited for the order from the superior, but the superior who waited for the 128th Regiment to do it.

In this way, the possibility of the telegram being intercepted by the Japanese and possibly being decrypted, and then exposing the entire plan of the Chinese army can be completely prevented, so that it is truly foolproof.

The telegram sent by the Military Commission was a code word, actually asking "whether the plan is being implemented normally", and the code word in Zheng Dongguo's reply was "everything is normal, please wait for the news."

In Jiang Weiguo's sleepless hope, the calendar on the table in front of him finally turned to August 8th.

"Before twelve o'clock this morning, if there are no accidents or damage, the project will be [-]% complete!" Early in the morning, Kan Weiyong called Jiang Weiguo, which relieved Jiang Weiguo.

"Could it be that I'm really suspicious and suspicious? Those little Japanese are really just building factories?" Jiang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. A branch factory is indeed a wonderful move in business. Anyone who has anything to do with the government or the military knows that China and Japan are going to fight in Shanghai. As for the outcome of the Shanghai battle, China, of course I know about Shanghai. It will definitely be lost, General Zhang and other sober-minded senior generals also know it well. Although my cheap dad still has a cooked duck in his mouth, he also knows in his heart that Shanghai will basically not be able to keep it. As for Japan, it is estimated that anyone The Japanese firmly believed that the Japanese army would inevitably occupy Shanghai, and Shanghai was the largest city in the Far East, and the Japanese occupation of Shanghai would still have unlimited business opportunities in the future. Toyota’s top management executives went to Shanghai to set up a factory in advance, which was far-sighted and a head start.

Perhaps, Toyota's move was supported by the Japanese government or the Japanese military. After all, the Japanese army has a local automobile company in China, which can produce military vehicles for the Japanese invaders nearby.

Maybe this is really just a coincidence, thank God..." Jiang Weiguo was secretly rejoicing, according to Yang Jiang's report, after Toyota bought the land, everything seemed to be normal, recruited many Japanese expatriates in Shanghai as hired workers, and demolished the houses of the original residents , To build a large factory building, and to transport a mountain of building materials and a lot of machinery and equipment, at least on the surface, it is very reasonable.

Yang Jiang reported to Jiang Weiguo that he had tried to send people to sneak into Toyota's new factory to investigate, but found that the other side was heavily guarded, and suspicious personnel without Japanese certificates and Toyota company passes were not allowed to enter, or even approached. When building factories, the company only recruits Japanese workers, not Chinese workers.

"Our company wants to produce Japan's first domestically produced car, so the production process is the company's commercial secrets, and visitors are not allowed to enter!"

Although Japan's industrial level is much higher than that of China, it is actually "not enough compared to the top, and more than the bottom", because Japan is not even close to China in the production of domestic cars at this time, and cannot (historically, with China and Japan When the war broke out, China's domestic auto industry was destroyed by the war and declined, while Japan's domestic auto industry was stimulated by the war and developed).

At lunch that day, Jiang Weiguo invented a famous "Jiang Weiguo's Law", which was later called "Jiang's First Law", because Jiang Weiguo later invented other famous laws. This is a psychological law, the core of which is The content is: "The more you don't want bad things to happen, the easier it is to happen."

(This "Jiang's first law" is actually the "Murphy's law" of later generations. To put it bluntly, it is the common saying "good things take time", "things backfire" and "whatever you are afraid of will happen".

) gave birth to this law, because Jiang Weiguo heard an extremely bad news while eating.

"Regimental seat! Vice-regimental seat! Participate in the seat! Jian pick!" Zhang Lingfu ran into the regiment headquarters with an urgent telegram, his expression trembling slightly, "The first Japanese army is on standby at the port of Sasebo, its homeland. The Special Marine Corps and several affiliated units have just arrived in Shanghai!"

Section 161 Blasting (1)

Zheng Dongguo, Qiu Zhiji, Huang Baitao, Jiang Weiguo and other military officers who were having lunch in the regiment headquarters all "Duke Zhou vomits and feeds" in unison. People are so indecent because they are shocked.

"Lingfu! What's going on? A Japanese Marine Corps has come to Shanghai?" Zheng Dongguo looked at Zhang Lingfu with a changed expression.

Jiang Weiguo was beside him in a state of confusion and thoughts: "Fuck! I don't remember this happening in history! How could Little Japan inexplicably send a Marine Corps to Shanghai before the Battle of Songhu broke out? Could it be... by the 'butterfly' effect'? Or... because the tunnel plan has been leaked?" The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became.

Zhang Lingfu took a breath and said, "It is the encrypted emergency information sent by Yang Jiang. He is personally leading people to monitor the new Japanese army arriving in Shanghai at the Wusongkou Wharf. This Japanese army was originally stationed at the port of Sasebo, Japan." The First Special Marine Corps of the Japanese Navy, together with its affiliated troops, has a total strength of about 2000 people, with excellent weapons and a large amount of military equipment!”

"Day!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help clenching his fists and broke the chopsticks in his hand. He looked at Zheng Dongguo, and the eyes of the two were tacit: the Japanese army suddenly increased its troops to Shanghai. Although the scale was not particularly large, the deep meaning reflected was It is very complicated and worrisome. Maybe the Japanese have noticed something troublesome, or maybe the Japanese have discovered Jiang Weiguo's tunnel plan. No matter what the situation is, this incident will inevitably bring great consequences to the next war. change.

Two thousand Japanese troops is indeed not a small number.

Jiang Weiguo remembered that the famous Battle of Songshan broke out in the later period of the Anti-Japanese War in history. The Battle of Songshan was a typical fortress offensive and defensive battle. The Japanese army was the defender and the Chinese army was the attacker. Air supremacy, the 3000 national army attacked the tenacious and stubborn Japanese army (there were more than 1300 and 1300 Japanese troops participating in the battle. According to analysis, more than 1300 people are more likely, because the national army A total of about 3000 Japanese soldiers were killed during the war. If there were more than 1700 Japanese soldiers participating in the battle, the extra 95 people would not be correct). As a result, the battle lasted for 1300 days, and more than 8000 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured (the entire army was wiped out. , almost no surrender and escape), the national army suffered about [-] casualties. Although the national army was the winner of this battle, the time of the battle and the ratio of casualties between the two sides were one to six had to make the Chinese feel uncomfortable.

The Chinese must admit that, except for certain circumstances, Japanese soldiers are really not that easy to kill.

If the two thousand Japanese troops newly arrived in Shanghai were to fight street battles with the national army, even if Jiang Weiguo, an "anti-Japanese optimist", made an estimate, he would have to admit that the national army would have killed or injured at least 4000 people, or even more, not to mention There were already more than [-] Japanese soldiers in Shanghai.

There are more than 1 Japanese troops combined. If the national army and these [-] Japanese troops fought street fighting in the metropolis of Shanghai (street fighting is originally a comparison of individual soldiers' quality and infantry firepower, the difference between the national army's individual soldiers and the Japanese army's quality is unnecessary. Excessive talk), the national army will at least have more than [-] casualties, and it is difficult to quickly eliminate the Japanese troops who are scattered and hidden in the urban area like rats and cockroaches; How many people can destroy it?This made Jiang Weiguo's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"What's the problem?" Jiang Weiguo was flustered and even more upset, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Probably..." Zheng Dongguo said with a wry smile, "The 918th Regiment hasn't been wiped out on the Pingjin front, but our 128th Regiment is about to be wiped out on the Shanghai front!"

"Everyone, don't panic!" Huang Baitao said, "Let's calmly smooth our thoughts.

First of all, although we are still in a state of non-communication with the Japanese in Shanghai, both sides have already estimated that the other side is playing their own ideas, but for various reasons, the two sides continue to hide their swords behind their backs and pretend to be false; secondly, the Japanese in Shanghai There have been no big moves, one is that we are worried about alerting our side, and the other is that the Japanese are focusing on Pingjin at this time, and our side is the same. We are the only national army troops arriving in Shanghai, and we are still disguised as security forces. However, Zhang Junzuo's Ninth Army only moved to the Suzhou area; third, although the Japanese increased their troops to Shanghai, the frequency was very low and the scale was not very large.

So, I suspect the Japanese were just doing it in defensive self-defense, not attacking us.

Most importantly, our tunnel can be completed tonight, and the Japanese have lost the race against time!"

"The sudden increase of Japanese troops in Shanghai is certainly a bad thing, but we have to look at it from two sides!" Xiao Yao said, "The real key is whether the Japanese have discovered our tunnel? If so, then , the Japanese should carry out sabotage. Perhaps the "peaceful environment" in Shanghai at this time cannot allow the Japanese to carry out sabotage with open flames, but it can also be done in an indirect way, but we have not found any signs of this from the Japanese; secondly, the two thousand reinforcements from the Japanese army After arriving in Shanghai, where will we be stationed? Headquarters? Several strongholds near the headquarters? If we are stationed in those places, what do we have to fear? This just shows that the Japanese did not realize our tunnels, the location of the headquarters There is already a volcano that is about to erupt underneath, and the Japanese are still running to the crater? We don’t care whether there are 4000 or 6000 Japanese troops in the headquarters. At worst, we can increase the amount of explosives.

If the Japanese have discovered the tunnel, they will definitely leave the base of the headquarters, and then the Japanese army will start a street battle with us in Shanghai. Although it is still difficult, it is better than the offensive and defensive battle of the fortress!"

"Yes, that is indeed the case!" "The next step is to see where the devils who have just arrived in Shanghai go!" "I hope they will sneak into their headquarters and be sent to the sky together by us!" "Everyone, if you want to follow the The Japanese army launched street fighting, so our battle plan will be greatly revised!" "Jianhao..." Zheng Dongguo looked at Jiang Weiguo, "The defense at the starting point of the tunnel is indeed a bit weak. Although strengthening the defense will scare the snake away, but... Anyway, the time distance There are only more than ten hours at the last moment, in my opinion, we can see you with a poor dagger, and don't make any mistakes at the last moment!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Brother Gui Ting, you are right, let's transfer a battalion there!"

"One battalion is too much!" Qiu Zhiji said, "One company!"

"Okay, one company!" Both Jiang Weiguo and Zheng Dongguo agreed.

In the afternoon, Jiang Weiguo, Zheng Dongguo and other military officers were all waiting on pins and needles, feeling as heavy as a group of criminal suspects waiting for the judge's final verdict. Should they be acquitted or imprisoned?This had to make Jiang Weiguo and others feel guilty, flustered, and terrified.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, while everyone was waiting, Yang Jiang sent two messages.

"Secretary, the Japanese Navy's First Special Marine Battalion newly arrived in Shanghai has been stationed in the Japanese Army Command and surrounding clubs, Hongkou shooting range, Gongda yarn factory, Fengtian yarn factory and other places. The Japanese army is actively building fortifications!"

After receiving the news, the regiment headquarters of the 128th regiment burst into cheers.

"They didn't find out! That's great! The Japanese didn't find out!" "Ancestors bless you!" Zheng Dongguo, Qiu Zhiji, Huang Baitao, Zhang Lingfu and other officers were all elated and even wept with joy.
